Carita Paris Knows How to Re-grow Hair on a Bald Scalp

Last summer, I gave my father Carita Paris’s Hair Loss Care System, with instructions to diligently work his way through the dozens of vials, which are supposed to promote hair growth. Soon after I gave him the vials, I forgot about them. That is, until I saw him on Thanksgiving.

Over the past 10 years, my father’s thick, healthy hair has diminished, and as with many dignified men his age, his hairline has moved backward, toward the center of his head. For six months, he’s applied a small amount of what Carita calls a “Material Wealth Complex,” on the entirety of his bare scalp. Carita recommends applying a vial of the treatment three times a week. Instead, nightly, my father massaged small amounts of the liquid lotion onto his clean scalp.

When I saw him on Thanksgiving—and I say this with no exaggeration whatsoever—I noticed that his hairline had moved forward a full two and a half inches. He had grown plentiful, even tufts of baby hair on his previously bald scalp! Before I joined Vanity Fair's beauty department, my father was a sworn no-fuss, no-nonsense sort of guy who cringed at the sight of a fancy soap, serum, or shampoo. But all that has changed—since he discovered Carita!

How it works: each vial of Carita’s hair-loss complex blends vitamin B5, pepper extract, rosemary extract, and trichogen liosomes, all ingredients known to promote hair growth. And, most important, the formula boosts microcirculation in the scalp, which helps to slow future hair loss.
